I love my guy!

Jesse left this morning for the District Youth Gathering in Irvine. He is on the planning committee, so he has to be there a day before everyone else. I'm leaving the house at 7am tomorrow to pick up our Jr. High youth group kids in Glendora and then joining Jesse at the DYG. I've never been to one before.

As excited as I am to go to my first DYG, saying goodbye to Jesse today was hard. I hate saying goodbye to him--even for one night. I know it sounds babyish, but that's the way it is. And I don't think it'll ever change.

I just came home to an empty house, and was surprised when I heard music coming from our bedroom. Jesse had made the bed (wow!) and even written LOVE on our green fleecy blanket that is so soft that you can leave a handprint in it. He had pulled out my special pig (the one I've had since we were dating) and put some of his aftershave on its snout like he always does. I love that, because then it smells like him!

I love you so much that I find it hard to describe it as anything but simply love. As we go about our days, weeks, months, our lives, I continue to love you more and more and I am sure that many years from now I will still be learning just what love is.

To say that I will miss you tonight and even when we are in the same room and group tomorrow is not enough. You are so much a part of my life and my joy that things just cannot be as amazing without you.

I hope that you sleep well and dream of me through the night. I look forward to seeing your beautiful smile tomorrow morning and I can’t wait to truly hold you close Sunday night.
